Shaping the Future of Geoscience Education Research: Synthesizing Results and Articulating Future Directions

该项目正在调查地球科学教育研究(GER)的现状，重点放在本科教育上，并以最近关于以学科为基础的教育研究(DBER)的报告为基础。该项目支持地球科学教育研究界的一项合作努力，以确定和综合地球科学研究的成就、结果和主张，汇编这类研究中使用的方法的注释清单，并建议未来的研究方向和支持这类努力的方法。该项目包括通过为期三天的讲习班以及在讲习班之前、期间和之后让社区参与的虚拟活动，让地球科学研究中心和更广泛的地球科学教育界参与进来。该项目网站支持全社区的参与和传播。该项目的重点是GER的现状和未来方向，并最终在研究转化为实践的过程中，在个人、机构和国家层面形成本科生地球科学教育。该项目通过讲习班和虚拟参与机会支持地球科学教育研究界的发展。该项目包括通过为期三天的讲习班让地球科学研究中心和更广泛的地球科学教育界通过众包参与，以及在讲习班之前、期间和之后与社区互动的虚拟机会。虚拟活动包括研讨会前的虚拟讨论、研讨会期间的虚拟海报会议和讨论，以及研讨会后对草稿产品的反馈和评论。该项目网站由全国地球科学教师协会(NAGT)主办。该项目的主要成果包括以下方面的资源：全球环境研究中使用的方法、迄今在全球环境研究中学到的知识、未来全球环境研究工作的关键主题和问题以及建立全球环境研究社区和支持该领域新研究人员的战略。

The project is investigating the current status of geoscience education research (GER), focusing on undergraduate education and building on recent reports on Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). The project supports a collaborative effort by the geoscience education research community to identify and synthesize the accomplishments, results, and claims of GER, compile an annotated list of methods used in such research, and recommend future research directions and ways to support such efforts. The project includes engagement of the GER and broader geoscience education communities through a three-day workshop as well as virtual activities to engage the community before, during, and after the workshop. The project website supports community-wide engagement and dissemination. The project is providing a focus on the current status and future directions of GER and ultimately, as research translates into practice, in shaping undergraduate geoscience education at the individual, institutional, and national level. The project supports the development of the geoscience education research community through the workshop and virtual opportunities for engagement.The project includes crowd-sourced engagement of the GER and broader geoscience education communities through a three-day workshop, as well as virtual opportunities to engage the community before, during, and after the workshop. Virtual activities include virtual discussions before the workshop, a virtual poster session and discussion during the workshop, and feedback and comments on draft products after the workshop. The project website is hosted by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT). Primary deliverables from the project include resources focused on the methods used in GER, what has been learned to date in GER, critical topics and questions for future GER work, and strategies for building the GER community and support new researchers in the field.
